Tried to follow the tutorial exactly, didn't work. Then I tried to tweak the post-firewall rules, yet no matter what I'm doing, I keep getting:

Code:

xxx.dyndns.org isn't responding on port 1194 (openvpn)

when scanning the 1194 port
And yes, I am able to eg. ssh into my router with the given dyndns host.
Conclusion: I don't know how to open the 1194 port for the OpenVPN client to even start doing transactions. Please, help.

If firewall rules and the notes given and the end of the rules do not help to open the port, you should take a look at the policy you have on the INPUT and PREROUTING tables to see if it is "I" (insert) or "A" (append) the parameter to use on the rules.

On the other hand "isn't responding on port 1194" does not imply the port is not open. It implies there is no service responding to the request on port 1194; reasons can be multiple, e.g. no service behind the port, closed port, etc.

Hi Csali, I had the same problem and could find reason for long time. By I found the solution. The problem is in uClib library, which is to be installed explicitly with IPKG http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=8205.
